The Great Fire

The Woodpeckers work in History and Design Technology on The Great Fire of London culminated in a recreation of The Great Fire and children acting as reporters ‘live from the scene’. Their Green Screen debuts enhanced the experience further and provided a purpose for their writing.

This opportunity not only helped children consolidate their understanding of teh impact of this huge event on the lives of people at the time, and on the design of the buildings in the city after this date, but also provided them with an excellent real life experience to inspire their report writing.
